@@fakename287 indeed, it would probably disable and lock any Iphone in a 20km radius just to be sure because apple knows best :)

@@Anthonypython my laptop had a fan failure, it gave BIOS error message and automatically shutdown in some 10-15 seconds, but it also had an option to ignore it and take the risk

My macbook air from 2011: are you challenging me?
@Void Astra the only fix is undervolt
My 2014 HP Envy laptop: 80. Best I can do.
@Void Astra my mid 2011 air was pinned at 100 degrees
Well, the great majority of pc and laptops run at that temperature...
my macbook pro 13" mid 2010 reachs 100 C somethimes, most of the time 85 C
10:15 "we are still under 75 degrees" "what the hell?"
it's surprising what you could achieve with an actual heat sink making actual contact with the cpu...
That actually fixes the biggest dealbreaker that pushed me back from the Macbook Air. Instead of grinding the heatsink like they did, I would jsut remove it and the heat insulator and put a bunch of Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut thermal pads there to let it dissipate its heat to the whole bottom. I don't care if it gets hot in my lap or not, we're not running synthetic benchmarks all the time on our laptops anyway. When doing normal stuff it shouldn't be a problem.
@@utubekullanicisi yeah, like, how many people are video editing on their lap or something?

Okay... like... you're freaking me out with you're "Conspiracy Theory" concerning the Intel vs ARM chips because I could absolutely see Apple pulling something like that.
What conspiracy did he say
@@MrMaddog2004subscribe That Apple was intentionally nerfing their performance with Intel chips so that when they make the switch to ARM , the performance with ARM will look better by comparison.
I mean apple is notrious for slowing down older iPhones via software updates so people would be forced to buy a new phone, so i dont think this is too far fetched.
Me too lol but for Ryzen, it could take them a lot more years to catch up

Except it’s been pretty much intel sandbagging themselves
@@killerkoalas3573 sandbagging implies YOU are hiding performance. Intel isn't hiding performance... If anything, they're running their chips redline because they're desperate to show they have performance. It's APPLE sandbagging the cpu by forcing it to thermal throttle way early.

@@sabni8668 not a chip on his shoulder, Apple for 7 ish years has produced hilariously bad garbage, and he has to deal with their bullshit defective boards every day.

@@sabni8668 You gotta see both sides of the argument. That's all.
2:51 The conspiracy theory was accurate.
Linus: We could put it in frozen water
You mean ice Linus?
Thought exactly the same thing 😄
Nobody had any idea what he was talking about until your super high intellect pointed it out...
Thank you
There is such a thing a supercooled water (or at least water that has been modified a bit to stay liquid at and below its normal freezing point). If you add salt, that lowers the freezing point. add in crushed ice, and you get water significantly colder than it would normally freeze at. This is, by the way, how the 0 degree point on the Fahrenheit scale was determined.
All that said, though, I think Linus just meant really cold water.
Linus: I can't watch while you mill a tiny bit of copper off.
Also Linus: Let's submerge the entire laptop in water.
4:20 Linus, there is an explanation for the fan placement that nobody is talking about. Moving the fan such that the output vent was directly in front of the heatsink wouldn't make a difference, because it's still moving the same amount of air. Linus, this is effectively a "pull" configuration over the heatsink, just as you'd see on a radiator. When the bottom lid is closed, the fan pushing air out of the left hand side(when it's upside down) creates negative pressure inside, drawing air in from the right hand side, over the heatsink. You can see that the only other gap in the casing for air to come in is on the other side of the heatsink.
The reason your added fan made such a difference has nothing to do with the location of the fan; it's just because it's a much bigger/faster fan with more airflow. A lot of people are mocking their engineering about not knowing where to put the fan, but that's not the issue. The issue is simply the low airflow of the fan in general, and the puny heatsink with low surface area. The bad cooling was not the result of bad engineers not understanding fan placement, it was the result of design decisions to have a small fan and heatsink.
I'm not a fan of apple but I agree. I saw one comment saying "I bet if you removed the fan it wouldn't change anything" 🙄
Exactly! You just proved that Linux is clueless for anything than playing Windows games, somewhat poorly.
Well, there are still losses coming from the fan being somewhere else. I wonder how much it is..
But that wasn't the fix was it though? It was fixing the heatsink by milling?
@@rkan2 Yeah, I believe their post-milling test wasn't with the large fan, so having the heatsink fit snugly was actually more of an improvement on its own
Having the fan far away is typically fine, but there's no ducking so air can flow anywhere inside the chassis. Not that it will help any if you air gap the die.....why not just remove the heatsinc entirely? It'd probably perform better
Great content bois, this is exactly the sort of rogue engineering stuff I was hoping we'd get with Alex on the team now that he's had some time to get accustomed to all those fancy new tools and machinery

More like writing this down to the list of absolute shit Apple has put out...
@@Billy123bobzzz I mean, that goes beyond the point of my comment, but I'm sure he would love to drill holes through customer boards like LTT drilled at that heatsink. But given I work with former Apple employees, deal with broken Macs all day, and see the same repetitive nonsense all day that Louis deals with when it comes to hardware failures, I'd rather watch his channel and see him fix something than trust whatever Apple says. If you've worked with Apple before through a dedicated support contract, you'll know that they bend over backwards until you leave their limited perfect support window. Try to report issues like T2 Firmware bugs that impact actual machines in production. For example, T2 chips bricking themselves from OS updates. Or Command + Option + R not working as Apple documentation stated, because of a two year old firmware bug they have yet to fix. Or the shoddy graphics drivers they included in Catalina that now just cause random programs to crash out (as of 10.15.5...). It'll take forever to get fixed. Their hardware will keep breaking. And yet companies just keep buying the hardware.
Heck this week I had a Mac with a glued in swollen battery that puffed up to more than double the thickness of the Mac. Also caused the bottom cover to blow off and break the screws. My urge to drop kick the Mac to Cupertino in a bent up mess before showing Apple had to be retrained big time. Some day Apple's genius choice is going to get someone hurt. Or set a courier's truck on fire.
Now the difference between Louis and Apple is a big one when it comes to designing components. But I can agree with him on a few things much like how I can agree on some design choices Apple makes.
But please continue to take posts out of context and troll around.
@@Billy123bobzzz found the sheeple.
The mac knows when you try improve thermals and limits itself in other ways 😂
this ^
It is the CPU limiting itself because stupid Intel builds 14 nm CPUs which are far less efficient and much bigger than 7 nm
I saw some people installing thermal transfer pads between the heat sink and bottom case. It works to spread the temperature but I'm worried about it heating the batteries.
For the burst like modes that most Mac users experience it will be OK and allow for higher turbos.
the thermal camera shows a hot spot so all of that heat isnt transferred to the batteries also theres that fan so as long as theres space between the bottom case and the batteries it should be fine.
Even if... Buying a new set of batteries if it happens wouldn't be that bad of a risk
@@lonsn3929 but what if something happens. There is still a risk and I am not sure whether you're going to be able to fix your Mac with AppleCare + cuz they may just reject your request
i cant take this seriously with the spongebob music in the background lmao
Imagine Tim Cook watching this from his mansion somewhere like: 😐
yeah he sucks
He saw this and he decided to announce Apple silicon instead of intel and i’m sure that they will fix the fan situation while doing that
seriously?
A man crying on stage after Oprah for Apple TV+ but does nothing for real improvements on Mac side. I totally hate him.
@@bullet01l30 nah he's joking
Alternative conspiracy theory: they thought they'd be already getting their own custom ARM chips a bit earlier, and had to rush a heatsink redesign for Intel
It doesn't really matter what the case may be because it is part of a trend of apple to package something that has some inherent design flaws but looks stunning to lay people.
doesn't sound unrealistic
You know what? Not only is this plausible, it’s verifiable! If the new MacBook Air has a similar enough board design we’ll know that you were spot-on!
@@DigitalNegative but that's under the hood - it has no exterior looks to stun anyone
This heatsink design was like that since October 2018
If you ever find yourself stranded on a island with a fully charged and working macbook you can use it to start a fire : D
Well Since the ARM-based MacBook is out now, I guess apple was truly sandbagging their intel based product for arm based products looking better.
4:08 Louis Rossmann is screaming at Apple
eisenklad FANSPIN
No, in fact Louis has fixed nothing. He is just a small time repair shop with a very big mouth. He knows nothing about designing actual products, of he did then he would realize that every time you change one item to avoid one issue that you then create three new problems.
@@Billy123bobzzz you are so wrong it hurts
@@TristanSpeno I own a computer consulting company in Silicon Valley that supports a million users per year, everything I said is true.
@@Billy123bobzzz ok
you'll find out the fan positioning reason, when they release the ARM macs. they're obviously using the same laptop design and swapping the CPU
this
plot twist: they remove the fan altogether. and add more...?
Surely there’s a heatpipe between the cpu and the fan? Surely it’s not completely passively cooled without even using the body as a heatsink?
@@cuthberter Not at the bottom... Maybe it's at the other side of the motherboard but it's probably not there either. The Huawei Matebook X pro had a similar approach where the fan is separate from the CPU cooler, but that laptop had a huge heatsink that covers most of the chips like a shell. It worked I guess.
There was a modder called Bradshacks who added a flat heatpipe to the fan of that laptop, which decreased temperatures. He also performed other mods such as thermal paste/thermal pad/copper shim mods which Linus could investigate.
Pretty sad when a cheap Chinese phone charger has more power delivery than that macbook.
You right.
Just tell all the rich people, that chinese tech is more premium and space grade
@@bigprojects2560 It's kind of sad how people ditch on the Chinese.
A lot of new and cool features are currently coming out China like super fast charging, under screen cameras.
@@annekedebruyn7797 cheap manufacturing doesn't always necessarily mean inept or outdated technology
I think that it’s the opposite,look how many things you can do decently with a great UX for so little power !
"I'll tell you what happened, sir. My MacBook fell out of an airplane window."
Apple employee: "it must have fallen in an ocean, because it looks like water damage."
Who's here after seeing Apple replace their Intel chips, confirming Linus' conspiracy theory?
Upvote and comment, go higher up! Not even a day passed since the vid went public and Apple announced ARM.
Linus' bullshit conspiracy theory is that Apple is sandbagging the Macs. We all knew Apple was going to their own silicon, the fact that they announced it today does not prove Linus' bullshit theory in any way, shape or form. Apple did a very good job of explaining why they're going to their own silicon, watch the keynote.
@@vernonprice5986 bruh
@@yurifaggu You can bruh as much as you want, still doesn't prove jack shit. Where is the actual proof that Apple is sandbagging Intel Macs? Still waiting to see it, bruh
how is that confirming his theory, when he based the theory on the fact that Apple wants to replace their Intel chips. That's what his idea stemmed from. What's this circular shit
It's almost as if the machine is built to cook itself to death so you have to buy a new one. Think different.
it's just built to be slow enough that people want to spend more on a MBP
That's big brain planning
Thats probably the plan. Works until the warranty expires.
@RpM_Evan not true people will avoid spending $100 upfront and end up spending $50 four times to get what they actually need. Also if you are buying apple you probably aren't very smart or good with money so I could see those people buying multiple macbooks.
think different, buy a thinkpad and build yourself a hackintosh and save some money
One day, beard Linus will shave, and we will all collectively shed a tear.
7:40 "Theres no reason for it!" Oh, theres a reason for it. They want premature failures so their customers go out and pay for their ridiculous repair prices and or just buy a whole new system.
"Let's go to the milling machine." - Me trying to do something simple like changing the tv remote batteries... things escalate quickly.
Obviously they designed this thing for ARM chips, so when they reveal it next year they could say the thermal is so much better than intel
LINUS: why it is not in contact?
APPLE : its called social distancing duh..
When they were talking about submerging it into water, is it technically possible (though insane) to put the Laptop on a HUGE icecube, like 30 cms tall and the other measurements those of the bottom of the laptop? Now you add some holes throughout, the ice (from top to bottom) and put it on a drain, so molten ice can drain and surround the cube with a metal brace (to minimise shifting).
When they announce their ARM-based MacBooks literally one day after the video came out
Video: fixing apples engineering
Apple: let's advertise on this video I'm sure it won't fall on deaf ears
Apple: Hires Linus
Linus: Content Ends
"Apple, passively cooled mac sucks!"

Oh, man... dat ass. Even this many years later. *Stares off into the distance with a sly grin*
@RITA - F U С К М Е !!!!! OPEN MY CANAL !!! oh no... It's u
At this point the fan is clearly for aesthetics The CPU has been intentionally gimped to fall in line with their product stack.
It's there so they can pass brain-dead FCC regulators.
'Fan?' - check, 'heatsink?' -check.
Must work, tell Apple it's approved
Yup. No reason to buy the i7 or even i5 variants when even the i3 thermal throttles down to the same level of performance.
There are 2 gaps in the back of the MBA, the Fan is obviously meant to pull air from the other side and then out. The bottom cover even has insulation to guide it over the CPU. 2 minutes of research would have given Linus better information.
Right, but even with the guides, you lose a fair amount of pressure due to the channel not being perfectly sealed. Also, that sort of design is a bigger dust magnet... If that heatsink plugs up the air will go right around it. The lack of heat pipes also reduces thermal capacity.
@@avnger619 Well by just cutting a bit of copper he got a 20ºC improvement so that stock design is still garbage.
apples cooling is like making a cake, the wet and dry ingredients are there, but they put the eggs in after baking
Well, wow... I finished my technical school (High school?) about 20 years ago. At that time the teacher instructed us how to use a Bridgeport milling machine, so we would know how the older machines worked. It was the same machine you have there, and i love it!. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
You guys are now seriously successful...an article about your accomplishments have been written here in India...good works guys😄😄
*Apple refuses to fix their cooling solution*
Linus: Fine, I'll do it myself
Remember when Steve Jobs said we don't ship junk? Well, there's that
Steve Jobs isn’t doing this though
he would’ve never let this happen
@@jeremy4410 Steve Jobs was the one who demanded the Apple III be shipped without fans and vents, he was unpredictable. There's no telling where Apple would be if he were still alive. I do believe Jobs was infinitely better than Cook, though.
@@corylynn8739 why do you think that?
Good thing Steve Jobs isn't around anymore to see his company turn to shit so quick after his death
Linus is like "I really want to drop this MacBook into water"
Would have been way cooler if you had done that
No pun intended

not gonna lie, I really wanted that too
"I can wiggle it all I want but it can't go down any farther."
That's what he said.
"how much performance did they leave on the table?" *puts laptop on the table* god damn didn't know it was a paperweight
I love Apple! I own a computer repair store, and Apple keeps me busy. Everyday, and I mean everyday the lab phone rings and I hear on the other end "Do you guys fix MacBooks?". Yep! Bring em in!
